Rangers rescued an infant macaque from a poacher in the Cardamom Rainforest. The young monkey was stolen from the wild and from it’s mother’s care to be sold into the wildlife trade. After confiscating the monkey, Wildlife Alliance rangers made sure she was fed and transported her Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center where she will be introduced to a troop of other young, misfit macaques and begin her journey back to the wild.
With heavy hearts we announce that rescued infant long-tailed macaque, Heidi, passed away a few weeks ago at Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center. As many of you know, she was ill when she arrived and was not growing at the appropriate rate for a macaque her age. Despite our vets’ many attempts, she could not overcome her ailments. Her sweet nature will be missed by the entire nursery staff.
